Avarin is slender and generally underweight for her height. She moves with a sort of economical grace that speaks of early training in Suus Mahna, strictly for defense, and Sha'mura, for the mental and physical discipline. Her hair is black, straight, and cut in an asymmetrical haircut (right side extends to below the jaw while the left side is shorter and tucked behind her ear). Her black eyes have an epicanthic fold and seem to dominate her face. She moves with a sort of economical grace owing to years of martial arts training. Her hands are slender and well-formed though slightly cool to the touch since her Vulcan physiology finds the temperature aboard Federation vessels and on Federation stations to be somewhat chill. When off-duty, Avarin favors the Vulcan mode of dress. She wears monochromatic, long-sleeved tops and pants paired with long-sleeved robes that fall to mid-thigh. The robes tend to show an artistic flair in their design and subtle shading. The sleeves of her tops are often fitted to cover part of the hand, thus providing a bit of additional warmth without restricting or inhibiting movement.

Avarin was born in ShiKahr, a desert city located on the edge of Vulcan's Forge. As a child, she learned to dance and was introduced to the Pleenok. Her teachers noted her aptitude for mathematics and interest in technology and steered her studies accordingly. While Avarin embraced the discipline of logic, it was discovered that detachment of emotion proved more difficult for her.
[[Image:Vulcan_map.jpg|thumb|355px|right|''Click to zoom in.'']] Avarin was born in Shi'let'theiri, a predominantly agrarian settlement located in the Vesh'V'ree'lat Valley, near the entrance to the T'Ralor Preserve, on the Han-Shir continent. The preserve is a vast wilderness area containing over 100 nearly extinct species of flora and fauna. Avarin's mother, T'Reyn is a biologist, specializing in botany, who works in the preserve. Her father, Senok, is an endangered species biologist who is currently working in the preserve as well.


From the outset, it was clear that Avarin had a good mind but did not easily accept traditional views. She wears her hair in a short, assymetrical haircut and sits in ways that are comfortable to her. During her early education, her teachers on Vulcan noted time and again that she betrays her emotions through microexpressions. For the most part, she has schooled her face to neutrality. She relies on time spent alone for meditation and reflection.
As a young child, Avarin was taught the Pleenok in the local school where her teachers noted her aptitude for mathematics and interest in technology and steered her studies accordingly. Her parents made sure to teach Avarin the Vulcan Lute and an appreciation for the artistic heritage that predated Surak. While Avarin embraced the discipline of logic, detachment from emotion proved difficult for her to master. She found that she needed time alone as much as she needed time with others. She would often take her lute and walk into the preserve, to practice in the undisturbed peace of a natural setting, and to vent the feelings she could not otherwise express.  
Her parents and older brother encouraged her studies at the ShirKar Academy. There was some debate at the start of her last year when Sevel and Avarin announced their intention of entering Starfleet since the family had collectively assumed the couple would remain on Vulcan.  A shuttle accident shortly after graduation claimed Sevel's life. While Avarin recouperated, she decided to continue on the path they had chosen together. She would join Starfleet.


The Academy was Avarin's first exposure to other lifeforms and cultures and she found it all entirely fascinating though the lack of privacy for meditation proved to be a hardship. She observed emotional explosions, laughter, and close contact among her classmates and saw first-hand how, for some races, detachment was completely unnecessary. She studies other philosphies and lifestyles, draws information from them, as though putting together pieces of a large puzzle. But to her, the quiet of engineering, moving through Jeffries tubes, solving the puzzles her instructors placed before her was the life she chose for herself. And if she betrayed frustration by a slight furrow of her brow, the walls of the ship were silent witnesses.
At the age of seven, Avarin was telepathically mated to Sevel; each year, the two families would meet, observing the custom of Ten'Chara, until it became clear that Sevel and Avarin were inseparable. Together, Sevel and Avarin decided the path they would follow. They enrolled at the Shirkar Academy and spent the next four years studying, Sevel in Science, Avarin in Applied Mathematics. In their last year of studies, the couple informed their families that they had enlisted in Starfleet Academy. This was easily accepted as it had long since been clear to both sides that the couple had no interest in working at the preserve. At their graduation, Sevel presented Avarin with a violin, in anticipation of their life among the stars, and Avarin presented Sevel with a cello. The day after graduation, the shuttle carrying Sevel and Avarin back to Shi'let'theiri crashed. Sevel was killed instantly; Avarin felt his death through their telepathic bond. After a period of reflection and withdrawal from society, Avarin elected to continue on. She enrolled at Starfleet Academy the same year.
